The original Phantasmagoria includes 7 CD”s which are required to play each chapter of the game. There are many: trailers, demos, applications etc, included on these CD”s, which are NOT required for gameplay. The below steps will take you through the process of setting up Phantasmagoria to play directly off your Hard Drive (without the need for any CD/DVD) and without these unnecessary files. You can then burn this folder to a DVD.

You can either perform the manual steps below to create you Phantasmagoria DVD or you can use a Custom built EXE file created by “Earthfire”. Download the Custom built EXE from HERE. Run the EXE and it will instruct you which CD”s to insert. Once ALL the CD”s have been copied to the hardrive the EXE will correctly setup, Move and Delete the files for you. It will also install the v1.1 Update patch which is included in the EXE.
